Gartner Sourcing & Strategic Vendor Relationships Summit

About

This conference is the definitive annual event delivering practical guidance and strategic advice on sourcing and IT Services.

Businesses are being engulfed by a torrent of digital opportunities, but often enterprise IT is not set up to easily deliver on these digital dreams. In such an environment, driving optimal performance and value demands a fresh approach from your sourcing organization.

This Summit will help you to understand how to adapt your approaches and vendor eco-system to the growing requirements of digital business. From the creation of effective IT sourcing strategies, to the selection of "best fit" providers and the adoption of new pricing models, through to the management of current and emerging providers, the Summit will give you fresh new ideas and concrete best practices.
